Read MoreThe box clutch vs the oversized clutch
It’s always hard to let go of certain trends, the oversized clutch being a classic example. Who knew a clutch could carry a ton of make up whilst somehow having a miraculous slimming effect? However, if the S/S09 catwalks are anything to go by it could be time to embrace […]
